Assuming that the recently observed {Theta}{sup +} and {Xi}{sup --} are members of an anti-decuplet of SU(3), decays to ground state baryons and mesons are calculated using an effective Lagrangian which incorporates chiral and SU(3) symmetry. We consider the possible quantum number assignments J{sup {Pi}} = 1/2 {sup {+-}} {center_dot} 3/2 {sup {+-}} and calculate ratios of partial widths. The branching ratios of exotic cascades can be used to discriminate between even and odd parity pentaquarks.
